TAF15 (TATA-box binding protein-associated factor 15) is a member of the FET protein family, known for their roles in transcriptional regulation and RNA metabolism. Here we have characterized five TAF15 commercial antibodies for western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence using a standardized experimental protocol based on comparing read-outs in knockout cell lines and isogenic parental controls. These studies are part of a larger, collaborative initiative seeking to address antibody reproducibility issues by characterizing commercially available antibodies for human proteins and publishing the results openly as a resource for the scientific community. While use of antibodies and protocols vary between laboratories, we encourage readers to use this report as a guide to select the most appropriate antibodies for their specific needs.
TAF15(TATA 框结合蛋白相关因子 15)是 FET 蛋白家族的成员,以其在转录调控和 RNA 代谢中的作用而闻名。在这里,我们使用基于比较基因敲除细胞系和同基因亲本对照读数的标准化实验方案,对五种用于蛋白质免疫印迹、免疫沉淀和免疫荧光的 TAF15 商业抗体进行了表征。这些研究是一项更大的合作计划的一部分,该计划旨在通过表征人源蛋白质的商业可用抗体并将结果公开作为科学界的资源来解决抗体可重复性问题。虽然不同实验室使用的抗体和方案各不相同,但我们鼓励读者将本报告作为指南,为其特定需求选择最合适的抗体。
